Infection

The infection spread so rapidly because those who had the disease were unaware of it. They would continue about their merry little days moving around and traveling until a few days later, as many as seven days, when they started to show symptoms. All the people they have encountered in their unknowing infected time period would also become infectious unknowingly. The infected people would then get skin spots, after the seven day waiting period, called gangrene or mortified skin. They would then only have about 6 hours to live and all of their possessions were contagious.
